EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Emperor Meiji of Japan, also known as Mutsuhito and the Mikado, in the uniform of Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army, proudly seated upon his charger. The photograph was published just before the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, during which Japan gained control of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Formosa (present-day Taiwan). The emperor's regal presence is emphasized by the grandeur of his attire and the majestic horse he rides. The map in the background highlights the territories under Japanese control, including the newly acquired lands. Emperor Meiji's reign, known as the Meiji Period, marked a significant turning point in Japanese history as the country transitioned from a feudal society to a modern industrialized nation. This powerful portrait of the emperor on horseback, with his commanding gaze and military uniform, symbolizes Japan's growing strength and ambition on the world stage.
